Work on the album began on January 1, 2014, when the band rented a practice space in Portland and spent a month demoing. After that, they self-recorded drums in an attic studio and captured the rest of the instruments at home.

This DIY approach was, according to a statement from the band, "Completely void of the middlemen scrutinizing every bar of [2013's sophomore LP] Pythons." The result is apparently "bit more bruised since the innocent take off of [the 2010 debut] Astro Coast."

Scroll past the tracklist below to hear opening cut "Grand Inquisitor." The single "Dorian" is expected to premiere today.
